    If a new “real maga” comes out of the current maga and allows the movement to reset its image of economic failure and child sexual abuse I’m gonna be fucking pissed.

      The “tea party” did the same thing for conservatism. The “tea party” thing morphed into the “maga” thing. The “maga” bullshit will likely go through a re-branding if Taco flames out anything like W did.

      Imagine if we had a media that actually pointed out that all this bullshit was going on and not letting the Nazis burn their uniforms and pretend they never heard of W, or Pedonald, and certainly were never part of this Republican Party thing, they are just “independents” who are “taxed enough already”, LOL.

      Imagine if, instead of that - we had a media that didn’t feel the need to be needlessly “objective” in the face of massive amounts of lying, and instead, pointed out that all these people are Republicans. That “tea bagger/tea party” == “maga” == “alt right” == conservative == Republican.

      It’s all the same awful people with basically the same agenda: steal money from the lower and middle class, give it to the parasitic class of elites, crush labor and let corporations rule, while using racist/misogynist policies and rhetoric to get just enough morons to vote for them. I wish we had a media that would not be shy about rigorously pointing this out and every opportunity, but most of our media is run by the very same corporations that wish to rule…

      Then be pissed, because Trumpism was never going to go away on it’s own, and is only going to get worse and more powerful with time.
